I'd go further, and say that the same change happening separately in
two branches is a conflict. Given initial content

a
b

For feature foo Bob changes it to

a
c
b

for feature bar Tom changes it to

a
c
b

When you want a branch with both features foo and bar, there isn't a
reasonable way for any merge algorithm to detect whether you need

a
c
b


OR

a
c
c
b

OR perhaps something more like

a
cc
b

These decisions are outside the scope of what I would expect from
automatic merge to understand.
